Cool TV.
I'll go ahead and start the second mortgage process now....
DO WANT
Absolute black - cool! how do they keep the man made blackholes from leaking out with the plasma :)
9 mm? That's thinner than the iPhone!
Absolute black. Is that like absolute zero?
We won't find out till we see it ourselfs, but I think it's good enough to trust the info.
Contrast ratios are so over the top in marketing it should be referred to as the Lie Ratio.
Hello TV of my dreams, but do they even have cameras that film in that high of a quality??
Sweet!! I hope I have enough money saved when this baby comes out. I just dropped five grand on the Kuro Elite in October. I though it was the best TV I have laid my eyes on. Now I realize it's just a fat bastard.
Er.. no speakers?
Do you really want speakers messing this baby up. All pro line displays are speakerless. With a display that nice you'd better have a decent surround setup.
is this the same picture quality as the current kuro line up ? or an inprovement? it state higher contras ratio so one can assume better tv then current 8g kuro line up ?
It's very thin but I think Sony will burn this one with their OLED screen, shows near absolute black, much better than the LCD screen nowadays, and it's 3 times thinner...
I love Pioneer. Really, love. Don't tell my wife.
Get me a towel. I want one. Cheers
i'll hang this up where my SED was sposed' to be.
Witty, sharp comments aside, Any idea of price and release date?
